so far i have been working on this genetic algorithms assignment for 9 hours today. i’m almost done and *i* thought that i was rather productive…

the adage is true though, all we are are bit-pushers in this digital age. i am no exception.

it made me think though… exactly how many bits have i pushed? bytes specifically, as analysis down to the number of bits would just make me look crazy.

9 hours =  540 minutes = 32,400 seconds. the directory in which all of my files related to this assignment are saved: 59,933 bytes. thats only 1.8 B/s!?! *sigh*

i’m just going to convince myself that all my effort is in ram… all those populations i’ve generated, all the simulations i’ve run… thats a lot of ram, right? (i would have analysed that too to make me feel better, but task manager doesnt separate program data and data data)

back to work i guess. lots more bytes need pushin’…
